        )
        pub_state = models.CharField('publish status', choices=PUB_STATES)
        title = models.CharField('title', max_length=140)
        body = models.TextField('body')

        # ...

ophandler.py:

from object_permission import site
# AuthorObjectPermHandler need 'django-observer' and required 'author'
# field (the author field is automatically added by 'with_author' decorator)
from object_permission.handlers import ObjectPermHandler
